Karisma Kapoor Seeks Share In Ex-Husband Sunjay Kapur's Rs 30,000 Crore Estate: Report
Karisma Kapoor's ex-husband and businessman Sunjay Kapur died on June 12. A month after his sudden death, new developments have surfaced regarding a Rs 30,000 crore property dispute involving his family.
What's Happening
According to a report by India.com, ahead of the annual general meeting of Sona Comstar, Sunjay's mother, Rani Kapur, claimed that she holds the majority stake in the Sona Group and is the rightful heir to the estate.
She further alleged that certain individuals are trying to take control of the family legacy and clarified that she has not appointed anyone as the group's representative.
As per a report by Dainik Jagran, it has been reported that actor Karisma Kapoor, who was previously married to Sunjay Kapur, is also seeking a share in his extensive estate. However, there has been no official confirmation of this from Karisma or her representatives.
Background
Sunjay's mother, Rani Kapur, has raised questions regarding the circumstances of his sudden death.
In a statement, she alleged that the incident, reported as a cardiac arrest, may not have been accurately described.
"For my client, as a mother, it's deeply painful to watch this being dismissed as a mere freak accident and cardiac arrest. The truth doesn't match the headlines. She would not stay silent until that truth is acknowledged," said her legal counsel, senior advocate Vaibhav Gaggar, to ANI.
Rani Kapur also claimed that shortly after her son's death, she was made to sign certain documents under distress. She has requested that the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Sona Group, which was scheduled for today, be cancelled. She also warned against the appointment of new directors at this time.
Gaggar confirmed that while no legal proceedings have been initiated yet, his client has sought a deferment of the proposed AGM and reserves all her rights.
Sunjay Kapur 's final rites were held on June 19 at the Lodhi Road Cremation Ground in South Delhi, in the presence of family and close friends.
He was the chairman of Sona Comstar. Sunjay married Karisma Kapoor in 2003. The couple had two children, Samaira in 2005 and Kiaan in 2011. They filed for divorce in 2014, which was finalised in 2016. After the divorce, Sunjay married Priya Sachdev, and the couple welcomed a son, Azarias.

High court upholds summons to Kangana Rananut in ‘Rs 100' tweet defamation case
Chandigarh: The Punjab and Haryana high court on Friday dismissed a petition filed by actor-turned-MP Kangana Ranaut challenging her summoning by a Punjab court in a defamation case, making it clear that the magistrate has duly applied mind to the material on record while summoning her. Justice Tribhuvan Dahiya, in a detailed 15-page order, said, "There are specific allegations against the petitioner who is a celebrity, that false and defamatory imputations by her in the retweet have dented the respondent's (Mahender Kaur) reputation and lowered her in her own estimation, as also in the eyes of others. Therefore, filing of the complaint to vindicate her rights cannot be termed mala fide." Ranaut is accused of defaming 73-year-old Mohinder Kaur, a farmer activist, through a tweet during the height of the farmers' protests against the now scrapped farm laws in 2020. Ranaut allegedly misidentified Kaur as Bilkis Bano of Shaheen Bagh fame and implied that such women could be hired to participate in protests for Rs 100. "Such remark, prima facie proves that the intent of the accused was to paint the complainant as a person of dubious integrity who is protesting without any cause and just for financial gains," the high court observed. Ranaut's counsel had contended that the trial court misconstrued provisions of Section 202 of CrPC and argued that she had only re-tweeted content by 'Adhivakta Gautam Yadav', who was not arrayed as an accused. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like She grew up to be America's sweetheart... can YOU guess? Watch More Undo The counsel pleaded that the retweet was made in good faith, without intent to harm Kaur's reputation, and in the absence of mens rea, the magistrate should not have proceeded. The order was passed on Feb 22, 2022. Senior advocate G K Mann, representing the complainant, argued that there was no dispute that Ranaut herself made the defamatory on the face of it retweet, which contains serious allegations against Kaur's character. Mann also said that Ranaut had shown no remorse or tendered any apology, suggesting intentional harm. The bench concluded that the summoning order was passed after due application of mind to the facts and preliminary evidence. The court also noted that it was not the petitioner's case that the retweet was not made by her. Regarding the complaint being filed solely against Ranaut, the judge observed, "Still further, because the respondent has filed a complaint only against the petitioner and not against the person to whom the original tweet has been attributed, in itself cannot be a ground to contend that the complaint is mala fide." 'Extra responsibility' on celebrities "As she (Kangana) holds a position of influence over the masses, she has extra responsibility on her shoulders to verify the truthfulness of the remarks made by her. It is evident from the evidence led by the complainant that the accused (Kangana) made the impugned defamatory remark without going into the truthfulness... She even failed to tender any apology to the complainant after knowing the truth." Justice Tribhuvan Dahiya Complaint was filed in 2021 The defamation complaint was filed on Jan 4, 2021, by Mohinder Kaur of Fatehgarh Jandia village in Bathinda. Kaur initiated the case in Bathinda court against Ranaut for her tweet (which was later deleted) that identified Kaur as Bilkis Bano of Shaheen Bagh fame and claimed such women could be hired for protests for Rs 100. Kaur had provided evidence asserting that Ranaut's words had damaged her image. The farmer stated that her family, owning 12 acres of land, found the accusation of protesting for a mere Rs 100 intolerable. MSID:: 123044276 413 |
